About

A simple buy-and-hold: 100% in VOO, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF. Owns ~500 large U.S. companies in one low-cost fund. Rebalanced annually. No signals or timing—results move with the overall U.S. stock market.
NutHow it works
Buys one fund: VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF). That fund tracks the S&P 500—about 500 of the biggest U.S. companies (think Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet/Google, Nvidia, Tesla, etc.). It stays in VOO all the time and, once a year, checks and resets to 100% VOO. No market timing.
CheckmarkValue prop
Simple, low-cost buy-and-hold in VOO delivers out-of-sample upside: annualized return ~21.07% vs S&P 20.91%, Sharpe ~1.79 vs 1.77, Calmar ~4.16, with a similar ~5% max drawdown. 100% in one ETF, annual rebalance, no timing.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
